Despite Boost, AI Privacy Remains a Concern
The main concern for tech leaders, however, was data privacy, with 78% of respondents citing it as their top issue. Privacy violations (38%), bias in AI models (37%), and the deployment of AI tools that have not been securely tested (36%) were also top concerns.
“Organizations must implement governance frameworks and technical safeguards to ensure safe, strategic implementation.” – Casey Ciniello, senior product manager at Infragistics.
Issues with privacy reflect concerns about how AI systems are developed and deployed. Many organizations, therefore, are implementing their own methods of combating this issue. Over 60% are implementing ethical AI guidelines, and 59% are issuing formal privacy policies to protect against misuse. 54% are also putting systems in place to protect any sensitive information.
Considering that leading AI company OpenAI has been breached more than 1,000 times, we can’t blame businesses for exercising caution.
